With such a bizarre age to manifest such behavior, I'm curious what everyone thinks would have been the likely cause. Obviously finding information on this instance is quite difficult because they protect the childs identity and won't exactly disclose a lot of information so most of what I've seen covers little more than some behavioral history, removal of a cell phone (which apparently caused the childs distress) a punishment which involved being forced to stand in the corner.
I'd love to know what everyone thinks of such an interesting example of violence for such a small child. Obviously the news sensationalizes it saying things like, "The child will not face trial." Like duh...no one in their right mind would consider a child that age to face a trial. So much of the attention seems to be on how the child had access to a gun...but to me that's a non-issue and gets into political and legal grounds which I'm not concerned with, they'll likely get nothing more than neglectful storing of a firearm and a half dozen other charges, it won't really matter much in the grand scheme. What I'm curious to understand is the psychology of a child who would be capable of doing such a thing. Cause think about it, a 6 year old was capable of shooting their teacher TWICE, once in the hand and once in the chest. And when you hear about children causing gun-related injuries and deaths (she survived), it's almost always accidental and a lot of the times the child ends up injuring themselves or other children as you would imagine with children playing with a deadly weapon, cause that's usually what it is, PLAYING. But this, is no play behavior. They weren't playing with the gun, the instance seemed very intentional and from the sound of things, the child was very upset.
So here are the details I've managed to find:
6 year old boy
History of behavioral problems
cell phone access and usage
in class punishments for misbehavior
apparently the school had been reported that the child had brought a gun to school previously (but if it was reported by other students chances are the gun was no longer in their possession by the time anything was done, like how I imagine a child showing off their gun to their friends, eventually those rumors fly around and by the time an adult hears it the child had already gone home)
Located in Virginia at Richneck Elementary a very small community county of 8,923 people with a 62.36% white population and 27.11% african american population, which, for such a small community in virginia is quite a large racial division for such a small city. The per capita income for the county was $16,675. About 11.90% of families and 15.40% of the population were below the poverty line, including 21.20% of those under age 18 and 12.50% of those age 65 or over. The child in question is african american with a fraternal twin sister.
according to the parents:
“Our son suffers from an acute disability and was under a care plan at the school that included his mother or father attending school with him and accompanying him to Class every day,” the family said. but the day of the shooting they were not there and he was attending regular class alone.
what acute disability would manifest in a 6 year old having enough cognitive ability to shoot their own teacher? Hitting and kicking, sure, classic child-like aggression for special needs children like autism and adhd, but for a child to use a gun like that doesn't make sense to me. They'd have to know how the gun works, how to use it, and know that its a weapon to be used against "targets".
They also claim the gun was properly stored, which, for a 6 year old to get their hands on, suggests otherwise. I don't know how a child would be able to access a firearms safe.
What are your thoughts? What acute disability would manifest such behavior? Gun aside, simply the ability to use that gun in that way raises so many questions. But in general how "acute" could a disability be and what would their environment entail? A disability doesn't make sense to me, there was no mention that the child was in a special needs class.
The news seems to be buzzing around nothing more than the parents and how the child got access to a gun, but I'm curious to know how a 6 year old knew how to use a gun and was able to effectively use it to attach his teacher whom he would have had anger towards. Thoughts?

2023.03.23 03:27 Unlikely_Garlic AMEX Gold or CSP For My Situation - Any Help Appreciated
Hello CreditCards!
I am about to graduate college and have 3 months of rent left so I thought I’d open a premium credit card with the last few months left before graduating as without the rent, I won’t be able to hit the SUB bonus for years if I don’t open it now as I don’t spend much in general. I pay $858 a month in rent, my parents transfer money into my account to pay it.
I am deciding between the AMEX Gold with the 90,000 points and $200 statement credit referral offer, or the 90,000 points in branch Chase Sapphire Preferred offer. I would be able to hit the SUBs with my rent payment. I would use the Uber and grubhub credits easily with the AMEX. I travel once a year so I’d use the CSP hotel credit, and I’d transfer points to partners on either. I don’t have preferences for airline or hotel statuses, just the best deal and am fine booking with travel portals. I would continue putting all my entertainment spend on the savor one.
I was pre approved for both the CSP with a fixed 26.49% APR and a matched offer for the AMEX Gold with an APR range. Which card would you recommend, either staying with chase opening my 3rd card with them to combine points, or earn more points faster with AMEX and utilize the statement credit? And what are my approval odds for them as I know Pre approvals aren’t always 100%? Or Is it even worth it opening one, instead just relying on the savor one/CFU/CFF?

2023.03.23 02:48 highsktan Region sets pace in vocational education
Ma Guopeng, 17, has produced about half a hectare of daylilies at home — earning his family more than 100,000 yuan ($14,500) last year.
This income was largely the result of the second-year high school student telling his parents when and how to properly apply fertilizer and water to the plants, which bear large yellow flowers and bloom only for a day.
Ma is studying modern protected agriculture at a vocational secondary school in Hongsibu district, Wuzhong, Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
He has made good progress since taking part in a program to learn about and optimize the planting of these lilies and help breed new varieties.
The lessons require much time and effort to be spent in a greenhouse. The students are taught to assess temperatures and humidity levels, use a wheelbarrow to spread manure, and apply drip irrigation during fieldwork.
The type of daylily Ma has produced is a popular medicinal herb used especially in southern areas of China to make soup.
In recent years, the daylily has become an agricultural mainstay in Hongsibu. In 2021, such plants grown on 5,347 hectares in the area had an output value of 545 million yuan, accounting for 30.6 percent of the district's annual agricultural output value, local government data show.
Ma is just one of the students passing on the information they acquire to their families. He said he is enthusiastic about the lessons and wants to further improve the industry.
Hongsibu is home to more than 230,000 people relocated mainly from barren areas of Xihaigu in southern Ningxia, which comprises Xiji county, Haiyuan county and Guyuan city. The UN once labeled the area the "most unfit place for human settlement" in terms of land reclamation, drought and a fragile ecological environment.
In the late 1990s, China launched an irrigation project to pump water more than 300 meters up to Hongsibu from the Yellow River.
After being lifted out of poverty in 2020, Hongsibu has made huge efforts to improve education and give the next generation more choices about future careers.
Sun Zhi, head of the region's finance department, said spending on education in Ningxia has remained above 5.4 percent of GDP for 10 consecutive years, compared with 4 percent nationally during this time.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the general public education budget in Ningxia exceeded 20 billion yuan, accounting for one-seventh of the region's total budget spending, Sun said.
Education in Hongsibu takes up 20 percent of the district's total general public budget spending, according to local government data.
Ha Xiaojun, head of the education bureau in Hongsibu, said launching the secondary school in 2018 filled a gap in the district's vocational education, made the local education system more comprehensive, and laid a solid foundation for poverty alleviation and rural vitalization.
Student numbers at the school have risen from fewer than 300 when it was founded to about 1,600. The majority of students enter a vocational college after they graduate.
Last year, 17 graduates, mainly studying preschool education and automotive maintenance, or with a talent for sports, passed an exam for vocational school students. The exam is similar to the college entrance exam, and if they pass it, students can be admitted to university departments that emphasize practical skills for a bachelor's degree, rather than a vocational degree.

2023.03.23 01:50 The_Blue_Psycho Hello, this is the kid that made the post about the Ohio swatting incident on the 21 at OHS
I want to make it clear that I am not doing this for any political reason. Schools should be a sacred place of learning and safety. It doesn’t matter where you come from or who you are we can all agree that schools should be kept safe. On the 21 of march 2023 6 schools across Ohio all fell victim to the same swatting hoax. An unidentified person called the respective police departments about an active shooter in the school. The principal at OHS (Olentangy High School) issued a teach in place. A teach in place if you don’t know means the teachers lock doors and nobody can come in or out of the classroom until the principal lifts the TIP. TIP is usually used for medical emergencies hence why the band director thought nothing of it. He locked the doors following his training. In an active shooter situation the police need it to be quiet to listen for gun shots. The sound of the percussion alerted our in school police officer which reacted appropriately and told us to quiet down. The confusion was crazy we had no idea what was happening only rumors from friends, and we all know how trustworthy rumors can be. My first reaction was to help barricade the door because I had no clue what was happening. Unfortunately me and 13 other students and the three teachers there got locked out of the locker room aka the most secure place in the conjoined music rooms. There are 4 main entrances to our area and we had nowhere to hide except for behind some uniforms, and so we hid. The school had a severe lack of communication, so the only news we got was from friends and other people. like I stated before rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. Me and many of the students trapped in the uniform loft began to message our parents “I love you”. We didn’t know what to believe we didn’t know if we were going to see our parents that afternoon. Meanwhile, the Delaware County police department had arrived after only 6 minutes this is why I applaud your sheriffs department. For even though there was no threat they were there to save the day. It may sound weird to some of you, but seeing the school police officer made me feel safe. I am so glad that they were there that day. It scares me to think what would’ve happened if it was a real shooting and there were no police. It sickens me to think that people will swat a School where there is no threat. Taking officers away from their respective duties to search a completely safe school. It’s unbelievable the lack of communication from my school. Please if you have any questions feel free to ask this is mostly everything I know I just wanted to document my experience and context for my last post.

2023.03.23 01:19 International-Look57 Question about the Room of Requirement?
So what are its limitations? Like can someone walk outside the room w the deep desire to have a portal that leads into and back out of a specific vault in gringotts? If you needed more galleons would a room full of galleons be available? If Harry walked by it w a deep desire to have his parents alive again, would they be alive and waiting in the room, or would they now have portraits that he can talk to everyday?

New since last update
Fun fact: On March 22, 1894, the first championship series for Lord Stanley’s Cup is played in Montreal, Canada. The Stanley Cup has since become one of the most cherished and recognized trophies in sport. Since 1926, the Stanley Cup has been awarded solely by the National Hockey League every year except in 2005, when the NHL was on strike. The original trophy that Lord Stanley donated was retired in 1962. Since then, only one trophy has served in its place, making the Stanley Cup one of the only trophies in major sports that is not reproduced each year. When a team wins the Cup, they are allowed to hold on to the trophy for one year, and the name of every player, coach and front-office employee is inscribed onto it. Source

King County COVID Report (3/22)
New since last update
Fun fact: On March 22, 1894, the first championship series for Lord Stanley’s Cup is played in Montreal, Canada. The Stanley Cup has since become one of the most cherished and recognized trophies in sport. Since 1926, the Stanley Cup has been awarded solely by the National Hockey League every year except in 2005, when the NHL was on strike. The original trophy that Lord Stanley donated was retired in 1962. Since then, only one trophy has served in its place, making the Stanley Cup one of the only trophies in major sports that is not reproduced each year.

2023.03.23 00:11 Ihavealotonmymind1 Can I calculate my overall average for each quarter?
My school does percentages and since my grades for Quarter 2 are out can’t I just do that instead of adding up all my assignments? Most of them don’t show up in my schools parent portal so I can’t really find them and it’s just a ridiculous amount of time to do that.

2023.03.23 00:10 GrandfatherSeagoat Lessons to be Learned
In life you can learn from all experiences, all you need to do is observe and seek to understand the aspects of what happens in these moments.
My partner and I have been on probation for almost 3 years now, it will be over in September. It feels great to know the end is near; I am joyous about that. What I'm not happy about is the fact that I am left by myself in another state while my partner is able to leave to go back to our home state. We were staying at her friend's house last year prior to us living with her friend we decided to leave our apartment because the rent was being raised significantly faster then we could pay so my partner decided it would be best to stay with her friend and while we do this, just go find another apartment in another county of the state I am currently at now. We left our jobs and did that, then 2 months into us living there her friend moved out of there house and moved in with someone else leaving us just 1 week to figure it all out; What a bummer for us indeed. So we started calling the probation officer and for sometime he wasn't helpful but then came around to trying to help us get out there, Which was a hassle in itself. Fast forward to us getting up there on a temporary travel permit ( which allows us to leave the state, basically if for any reason you get into trouble or get pulled over, nobody thinks hey let's throw them in jail.. ie a hallpass) around mid December we were there up until we had to return to the other state to complete the transfer of probation which is called an (ICOTS application) this thing basically says your requirements for going up there have to be of necessity like a job, emergency and so on. While we were in this state we filled out two applications each and both had gotten denied. We had been down here for 2-3 months staying at her parents house who don't like me very much. She is the buffer between them and the introverted me. She left to our home state yesterday and I've been crying all day because mines has not been approved and I have to deal with the uncomfortableness of there being no buffer and no Partner :-( I miss her so much!
I just want to go home!

2023.03.22 23:46 smokemeow [TX] anyone have experience keeping visitation as a noncustodial parent that uses marijuana?
I have a temporary orders hearing coming up. Other party requested a drug screening via nail scraping and, if ordered to take it, I’m not going to pass because I’ve smoked weed in the past 6 months. Even quitting the day I was sued wouldn’t have changed anything.
Never smoked in front of or around my kid or had it on my person during visits.
Custodial parent is asking for my conservatorship rights and visitation rights to be taken away. Because she hates me and hates how much my kid loves me. My 6 yo knows her mommy hates me.
We used to smoke together for Christ’s sake. She smoked several times while pregnant with my kid (7 years ago) AND I witnessed her smoked tobacco and CBD vapes while pregnant with another schmuck’s kid this year. I have text proof of her asking to borrow my vape.
But apparently I’m the only bad guy here.
If it was in one of the bigger counties like Dallas I wouldn’t be as freaked out because I know they are more likely to be lenient. But my case is in a smaller county outside college station. On top of that I was arrested in that county for possession of 0-2oz 7 years ago.
Anyone have experience with failing a Marijuana screening and still keeping their visitation? Or losing everything?
Texas experience only. Or any other state where weed is still illegal.
My first lawyer made me feel good and said he’d seen people that have done coke in front of their kids keep visitation rights but my new lawyer is acting like it’s a much bigger deal and it’s likely I will lose my kid despite my other legal and factual arguments against the other party.

2023.03.22 22:13 RedactedNoneNone MK12: Roster & Story Pitch (all 12 chapters)
 | Roster submitted by RedactedNoneNone to Mortalkombatleaks [link] [comments] art credits: https://pastebin.com/TYXa49HZ 25 characters same as MK11. Two new characters on top row are Great Kung Lao and King Jerrod. Onaga is the boss of arcade mode. The blue outlines are skins. The game would take place in Liu Kang's new timeline following his MK11 Aftermath ending. Some characters get altered origins or powers as result. For example, Mileena is Shao Kahn's half-tarkatan daughter with a normal mouth instead of a Kitana clone, Sub-Zero is the wraith instead of Scorpion, etc.. Other changes are described in the story mode you might enjoy or might piss you off. Goro and Sektor could be dlc or npcs; I list them as skins for Kintaro and Cyrax since they appear as fights in the story. Story Mode In the beginning, Liu Kang stands before an empty pitch black universe. Suddenly, the horizon sparks with light in an explosion of creation. Liu Kang raises his hand to catch the explosion, and begins to weave reality with the power of Kronika's hourglass. At his side is his great love Kitana. For eons, they attempted to create the perfect timeline. It's an eternal struggle to ensure both the safety of the realms as well as the existence of their loved ones, friends and allies. Liu Kang was on the precipice of perfection before the power of the hourglass was lost to him forever. In this new timeline, Shinnok's war against creation is waged in Outworld instead of Earthrealm. Shinnok and the Dragon King Onaga destroy each other in an epic battle - a conflict designed by the two lords of time to eliminate both threats. However, their hubris becomes their downfall. The battle of gods causes the power of the hourglass to leave Liu Kang, as if the primordial force inside returned to its true owner. Liu Kang is powerless to stop Kitana from fading to dust, himself only preserved due to Kronika's crown. He is trapped in a fate of his own design. Once home to conquerors, the wartorn Outworld instead becomes the prey. It is hopeless without an emperor as King Jerrod invades. For the next millennia, Liu Kang can only watch as Edenia merges with Outworld and other realms. Now the time has come for King Jerrod to put the crown jewel in his Edenian empire. He challenges Earthrealm to MORTAL KOMBAT! 1. Great Kung Lao Mirroring the ending in MK11 Aftermath, Liu Kang appears to Kung Lao at the Wu-Shi Academy. The humble monk is in awe the guardian of Earthrealm is speaking to a mortal like himself. Liu Kang recalls having a similar reaction to meeting Raiden, but now is the time for action. Kung Lao's training begins in earnest (vs. Liu Kang). Years fly by, and the once meager monk becomes an unrivaled warrior, just in time to meet the invaders from Edenia in the monastery's arena. King Jerrod presides over his delegation alongside Queen Sindel and Princess Kitana. The reborn Kitana does not recognize Liu Kang at all, causing him great sadness. The Edenians are ageless, dazzlingly beautiful, and adorned with the gifts of conquest and royalty. Instead of them stepping up to fight, the enslaved warriors of former Outworld come forward. Mortal Kombat begins (vs. Reptile). The tournament is fought in 10 parts. With each victory, Earthrealm is spared another 50 years and the champion's life is extended the same amount. In some rounds, brave Edenians enter kombat but are no match (vs. Jade). Kung Lao fights his greatest challenge yet in the ninth tournament: the hulking Goro (vs. Goro). Over time, the unassuming arena in the mountains is built into a Warrior Shrine to the Great Kung Lao. Kung Lao has lived for over 400 years yet his reverence and gratitude to Liu Kang do not waiver. In contrast, with each century gone by Liu Kang becomes more forlorn. He never forgot the power he once held as he leads his friend into battle and watches Kitana from afar. Liu Kang retires to the Jinsei where he secretly stores the inert hourglass. He is shocked when the glass begins to crack and the sands of time trickle out. The sands mold into the unmistakable form of Shang Tsung. Liu Kang moves to strike him down, but the sorcerer gives no reaction. Shang Tsung says his form is temporary while his soul twists endlessly in the sands - the consequence of a mortal wielding Kronika's power. He was witness to each new creation of Liu Kang's. He knows of a way to free them both from their torment: Shinnok partially succeeded in his plan to steal the One Being's power and end creation. The One Being was sealed in a mortal vessel and the power of the Titans, including Liu Kang's, were stripped away as result. Killing the One Being will give Liu Kang back his time-shaping abilities. All it would take is Shinnok's amulet. Reluctantly, Liu Kang makes a deal with the devil to regain what he lost. 2. Mileena The Edenians return home enraged after their latest tournament loss. Their strongest warriors cannot combat Earthrealm's champion because they are required in Edenia. The ongoing skirmishes with the freedom fighters of Outworld distract them from completing the unification of the realms. Jerrod and Sindel were witnesses to Shinnok's death war and decided the only way to protect his people from the acts of gods was to rival them in strength. With the realms unified under Edenia, mortals can have a fighting chance. Yet there are some among the conquered who do not share his vision. General Rain comes to court with news on one such nuisance. They tracked down the rebel leader Mileena. Later on, Mileena readies her raiding party. Half-tarkatan by blood, Mileena and her group of monstrous tarkatans sharpen their blades as if preparing for a massacre. However, this mission is valorous one. They fight to free Outworld slaves in the streets of Edenia's capitol. A routine operation if not for the trap laid for her. After her chains are cut, one of the hooded slaves assaults Mileena (vs. D'vorah). Mileena spares her foe and says all enslaved will be freed even the foul Kytinn. Mileena and her allies are ambushed by Rain's squadron (vs. Rain). Next, the assassin Tanya befalls her. Their flirtatious banter is brutally cut short (vs. Tanya). Mileena retreats to her hideout but the deadly Princess Kitana beat her there. She notes how they are remarkably similar despite their different bloodlines and origins (vs. Kitana). After briefly getting the upper hand, Mileena sacrifices herself to save her soldiers. Kitana appears to kill Mileena and announce her death to the other Edenians. News of Mileena's demise reaches the rebellion's main base, where diverse races and species of conquered realms vie for freedom. At the head of this congregation is Shao Kahn, but not Kahn. He resembles the Shao Kahn of Outworld's dark prior history, but in this diverged timeline he is a man of honor respected by all. The loss of his daughter underscores their losing battle. Low on resources and options, Shao debates going out in a blaze of glory. Until an unknown figure steps forward from the crowd. Shang Tsung reveals himself and claims he will teach Shao a way to regain the glory of Outworld and take his revenge. 3. Takeda In Earthrealm, Liu Kang assembles his allies at his Fire Temple. Despite the changed timeline, the Great Kung Lao's victories allow the existence of Earthrealm's greatest warriors such as the commander of the Special Forces, Cassandra Cage, and the Shirai Ryu head ninja, Takeda Takahashi. Liu Kang congratulates them on 9 tournament victories. He lies, saying their enemies will not stop after losing Mortal Kombat. Like Dark Raiden before him, he urges them that Shinnok's amulet hidden in the Netherrealm is the key to peace, but it will take a war to get it. He will lead a multi-front invasion into hell to retrieve the evil relic. The Great Kung Lao knows something is wrong with his friend. He's never known him to desire war. Liu Kang sends Takeda on a quest to find his former master Hanzo Hasashi. He advises Takeda to start his search at the home of Fujin the Wind God. Sometime later, Takeda arrives at the Air Temple where Fujin tests his mettle before answering any questions (vs. Fujin). Satisfied, Fujin reveals he had a falling out with Liu Kang millenia ago over the fate of the Shirai Ryu clan. Fujin alone knows Hanzo's location and he sends Takeda there. Tracking alone in the dense forest, Takeda finds himself being hunted by the lycanthropic Nightwolf (vs. Nightwolf). Defeating Nightwolf calms his bloodthirst and he reverts from his werewolf form. Nightwolf shares this land is a holy place where people go to contain their darker halves. Takeda will find the Scorpion here. Takeda continues his journey until he reaches a sanctuary resembling the Shirai Ryu Fire Garden. His psychic senses warn of an evil in their midst. He is attacked by Ashrah (vs. Ashrah). Takeda strikes to finish the Netherrealm demon but is deflected by Hanzo Hasashi who criticizes his former student to look beyond what his eyes see (vs . Scorpion). Takeda regrettably senses the humanity in Ashrah but also shockingly the hellfire in his master. Hanzo reveals the true reason he left the Shirai Ryu. It is the sacred duty of the most powerful among them to guard a special object: the severed head of the immortal god Shinnok. The head gradually infects its guardian with demonic corruption. Liu Kang secretly salvaged the undead corpse of Shinnok millennia ago and entrusted it to the fledgling Shirai Ryu under Fujin's guidance. Hanzo says Takeda will replace him one day as the Scorpion. Hanzo leaves the head temporarily in the care of his ally Ashrah. After returning to the Fire Temple, Hanzo's connection with Shinnok shows them the location of their target. Shinnok's amulet is now a medallion worn by Sub-Zero, the lord of the Netherrealm. Hell is frozen over. 4. Noob-Smoke With the amulet's location confirmed, the combined Special Forces and Shirai Ryu prepare the invasion. Hanzo meets with Liu Kang and says he was working with Ashrah and another agent of the Netherrealm, Kuai Liang. The god claims that cannot be possible since Kuai Liang is dead. Elsewhere, the Lin Kuei ninja Smoke teleports in front of the Special Forces. He calls out their leader (vs. Cassie Cage). The Shirai Ryu save them and Takeda challenges the grey ninja (vs. Takeda). Smoke's strange abilities create chaos among the gathered forces. Liu Kang and Hanzo order Smoke to stand down. Smoke reveals he escaped the Lin Kuei's demise thanks to his friend Kuai Liang after the undead Grandmaster Bi-Han dragged the clan down to hell with him. Kuai Liang died as result but Smoke harbors his ghost, which allows him to produce mist, smoke, and apparitions. The Noob-Smoke duo warn Sub-Zero is a vicious ruler who tortures his followers with disturbing experiments. If a single ninja can send the assembled warriors into chaos, then how will they fare against Sub-Zero's hordes? Liu Kang answers he will be there fighting alongside them. The Netherrealm invasion begins. Liu Kang and the Great Kung Lao divert the demonic army, while the Special Forces and Shirai Ryu form the spear, but the true mission falls to the ninjas Scorpion and Smoke. The ninjas navigate the frozen tundra of hell and split up to infiltrate the Lin Kuei fortress. Smoke is met by his former brother-in-arms Cyrax who was put through the Grandmaster's heinous cyber-demon initative (vs. Cyrax). Smoke is caught offguard by Sektor before he can finish the yellow cyber-demon ninja (vs. Sektor). Smoke forces steam through Sektor's eyes until his leftover flesh melts away, but is captured in Cyrax's net and brought to the wraith Grandmaster. Grandmaster Sub-Zero freezes him in a block of black ice and says he will soon be reunited with his brother. 5. Reptile Back in Edenia, another war is starting at Liu Kang's hand. The sorcerer Shang Tsung appeals to the rebel leader Shao. He's fought for freedom as long as he's lived but made little progress against the superior Edenians. Shang Tsung shows him a way to change that. He teaches Shao dark magic: the power to absorb souls. Shang Tsung promises it will give him the strength to destroy his enemies. Death accompanies war; what difference does it make if you take the souls of the fallen? Shao reluctantly agrees. With this new power, the small pockets of Outworld rebellion soon grow beyond Edenia's control. Shao turns the tides, and his latest target is the great gladiator colosseum. He frees Edenia's enslaved warriors, including the mighty Goro and the mysterious Reptile. Although he appears animalistic, Reptile is wise and suspicious. He questions the dark gifts of the outlander Shang Tsung (vs. Shang Tsung). Shao steps in to stop the cold-blooded murder and Reptile tells him not to the trust that snake. Shao asks Reptile to join his army but he leaves with his own mission in mind. Reptile heads straight for the heavily guarded Edenian Royal Castle. A suicide mission if not for his power of invisibility. He sneaks by most guards until he is sussed out by the stalwart Jade (vs. Jade). Reptile defeats the green fighter and stalks the castle for his true target. In the Royal Court, Queen Sindel meets with the shokan Kintaro. Some view Kintaro as a traitor for working with the Edenians but he truly seeks peace between their peoples. Reptile cares not for these politics and strikes (vs. Kintaro). Reptile finally corners his prey. The Queen of Edenia fears no assassin, but she knows Reptile is not what he appears to be. Although Liu Kang recovered Shinnok's remains, King Jerrod found the mangled body of Onaga. Unable to recover his original form, he was enslaved as a gladiator for centuries. Sindel taunts him saying he pales in strength to what he once was. She laughs at how the once mighty Dragon King is reduced to a mere reptile (vs. Sindel). What he lost in strength, he gained in cunning. He subdues Sindel and threatens he will soon regain his full power when she shows him the way to the Tomb of the One Being. Or else his claws will next be at her daughter's neck. King Jerrod returns to his ransacked castle and believes the rebels stole the queen. He tells his generals to prepare for all-out war. 6. Scorpion In the Netherrealm, the war rages on with heavy losses to the Special Forces and Shirai Ryu. The hordes of ninjas, demons, and cyborgs viciously defend their Grandmaster. Hanzo's hellfire is unleashed as he melts the frozen hell around him. He follows the trail left by Smoke until he reaches the halls of the Lin Kuei fortress. He fights then vivisects the cyber-demon Cyrax (vs. Cyrax). The Grandmaster's throne room is adorned with trophies from the Lin Kuei's victories - a long history now tarnished by their descent into hell. The greatest trophy lies around Sub-Zero's neck: the Dragon Medallion with Shinnok's amulet affixed to it. The artifact gives Sub-Zero command over his dead brother's soul and its traitorous host. He commands them to kill Scorpion (vs. Noob-Smoke). Scorpion restrains the duo as Sub-Zero steps off his throne to confront him. He laughs that Hanzo would work under Liu Kang. Like the Shirai Ryu, the Lin Kuei were just tools for the gods to use as they see fit. A mythological mission for the gods caused Bi-Han's demise but his dying soul grasped onto Shinnok's amulet before it could be sent to the other side. He says in the Netherrealm the Lin Kuei are the masters of their own fate (vs. Sub-Zero). Scorpion resists the amulet thanks to Shinnok's corruption within him. He ceremoniously beheads the corrupted Sub-Zero and says a prayer for his soul. The demonic Lin Kuei army collapses without their power source. Smoke and Ashrah remain in the Netherrealm to guide the lost souls and reshape the tortured realm. The Earthrealm forces return home with their prize. The war is over, but the cost is grim. Hanzo brings the amulet to Liu Kang, but he realizes the reality of Bi-Han's words as he surveys the suffering soldiers. He questions the truth behind their mission and what secrets Liu Kang is hiding that are worth all this death. The Great Kung Lao steps up to defends his god (vs. Great Kung Lao). Liu Kang halts their fight and decides to share the truth. He tells of Kronika's stolen power and the hidden hourglass. The amulet will indeed bring peace to Earthrealm. Once the sands of time are restored, conflict will no longer exist. Liu Kang will make sure of that in the new era. Hanzo leaves in disgust and orders the Shirai Ryu to follow him. Takeda remains behind, asking if his parents will be alive in the new era. Commander Cage disavows Liu Kang from the Special Forces and admits humans working with gods was a mistake. The Great Kung Lao is left at a crossroads. He's dedicated his entire existence to the service of Earthrealm. The truth that over 400 years of battle was a destiny forced on him breaks something inside. He denies Liu Kang for the first time in his life and leaves. Ashamed at his actions but determined to finish what he started, Liu Kang portals to Edenia to meet a deadly alliance of former foes. Amulet in hand, Shang Tsung informs Liu Kang they located the Tomb of the One, and it will soon be time to end this reality. 7. Kitana The civil war in Edenia reaches its climax. The Outworld rebels march on the capitol and Jerrod's court draws up plans to meet them. Yet the warrior princess Kitana is compelled to leave these proceedings and sneaks into the night. At the same hideout she nearly killed the rebel leader Mileena, she instead tends to her. She faked Mileena's death because of visions in her dreams about their veiled connection: a life in Outworld, a twin sister, and lost loved ones. Something inside her knows the war and bloodshed in Edenia is not how things should be. She decides to free Mileena and begs for help to solve the mystery. But Mileena calls her a lunatic (vs. Mileena). Kitana counters if she is insane, then Mileena's father must be as well. Shao is sweeping across the land like a plague devouring the souls of any Edenian who challenges him. Mileena refuses to believe these words about her father. She grew up hearing of his desire for a free Outworld not a bloody massacre. The two princesses team up to discover what caused this twist of fate. Mileena shows her the way to the main rebel base and goes ahead to stop them from killing her on sight. As Kitana waits on the outskirts, she is attacked by Tanya who calls her a traitor to her own father (vs. Tanya). Mileena retrieves Kitana and personally binds Tanya. In the rebel base, they are both shocked to see Earthrealmers plotting against Edenia. Kitana angrily calls them out (vs. Takeda). Kitana shouts Mortal Kombat is a sacred tradition honored by the Elder Gods and Liu Kang's underhanded treachery will be condemned. Liu Kang attempts to make her listen to him but it is a losing argument (vs. Liu Kang). Liu Kang is unable to harm Kitana and the Outworld rebels restrain her. She is another to the long list of Liu Kang's former loved ones who now despise him. He promises her soon everything will be set right. Liu Kang orders Takeda to return Shang Tsung to Earthrealm and wait for him there, then leaves to finish what he started. 8. Sindel After a long journey through Edenia's jungles, rivers, and valleys, Queen Sindel and her captor Reptile arrive at the Tomb of the One. Reptile's hunger for power makes him ignorant of the mystical traps protecting the Tomb. Sindel seizes the opportunity and breaks free (vs. Reptile). Reptile is imprisoned in one of the traps while Sindel races home to her family using her gift of levitation. She is tracked down in the air by D'vorah who followed her and Reptile using insects. Sindel wonders whose allegiance the Hive Queen fights for now. D'vorah retorts the Kytinn never changed their allegiance to the survival of the fittest (vs. D'vorah). Sindel quickly arrives at the Edenian capitol to find it in near ruin. The Outworld rebels herd captive Edenians like cattle and kill any who resist. She fights a band of shokan led by prince Goro. Sindel says the people of Outworld were offered citizenship. Only those who rebelled and could not conform to peaceful society were made captive. Goro gruffly responds the idea of a peaceful society disgusts him. Edenians will never understand the true warrior spirit of Outworld (vs. Goro). Queen Sindel barrels her way inside the Royal Castle and finds Shao fighting King Jerrod with her daughter Kitana captive to watch. She saves her husband and fends off Shao's assault (vs. Shao). She entangles the rebel leader and stops the fighting with her unique powers. Both sides want to protect their people, so why can't they end this war peacefully. She will soon learn how wrong she is. 9. "Shao Kahn" A tense standoff occurs within the Edenian Royal Castle. The warriors on both sides grip their weapons, waiting to strike. Kitana and Mileena hurriedly claim the entire war is a plot by Earthrealm. King Jerrod and Shao are both pawns in Liu Kang's game. Being reunited with his queen and princess causes Jerrod to see reason again. He begrudgingly offers Shao a truce and negotiates with the rebels. He promises them a seat at the table, working together to protect their shared realm. Liu Kang's treachery is proof of his fears the gods use mortals as their playthings. Mileena pleads with her father to forsake the dark magic and create the free Outworld of their dreams. However, Shao is too far gone. Like a rabid beast, he lashes out at Jerrod. Sindel uses her magic to blast him back again. She levitates her family and flees through the window. King Jerrod angrily tells her to let him go fight with his people, but Sindel says there is more at risk than only the kingdom. The realm will be destroyed if the Tomb of the One is not secured. Shao laughs and declares the royals cowards, but general Rain steps forward to defend them. He knows his King and Queen would not flee from a fight without just cause. Rain says Outworlders will never understand the pride of a true Edenian (vs. Rain). Shao showcases his crazed brutality as he tears Rain's chest in two with his bare hands. Shao orders the remaining Edenians to be slaughtered. Kintaro roars and lunges at Shao. Shao's madness has gone on long enough and will lead both Edenia and Outworld to ruin (vs. Kintaro). Shao's bloodlust no longer sees any distinction between the two realms. He skins the Edenians' pet tiger, ripping his arms and head off and parading it to his followers. He declares himself Shao Kahn - all will obey or die! The insect spies left by D'vorah tell Shao Kahn where the royals are heading. He marches his army out to the Tomb of the One. Mileena is forced by his side although she can no longer stand the sight of her father. Shao Kahn confronts the royal family for the last time outside the Tomb. Queen Sindel's magic is no longer effective after Edenian souls fed his strength (vs. Sindel). Lastly, King Jerrod honorably duels Shao Kahn to the death (vs. King Jerrod). Shao Kahn materializes his iconic hammer and crushes King Jerrod's skull, then steals his soul. He threatens Sindel to be his queen or join her husband. His ambitions turn to the ultimate power within the Tomb of the One. Overpowering the seals and traps, Shao Kahn triumphantly steps into the Tomb. Despite his boasting, his face is filled with fear when he sees Liu Kang already inside. 10. Ermac Liu Kang stands over an ornately decorated coffin inside the Tomb of the One. His face is filled with relief his ordeal is almost over. He opens the coffin to reveal a mummified being inside. Shao Kahn bellows out Liu Kang betrayed them and grimly realizes the truth of King Jerrod's warnings about the gods. Liu Kang calmly tells him in the new era all will receive better fates even those undeserving such as Shao Kahn. Liu Kang uses Shinnok's amulet to awaken the mummy with a blast of a magic energy that begins to collapse the Tomb. In the dust and chaos, Shao Kahn rushes to the coffin to find it empty and Liu Kang gone. Horrifyingly, the mummy appears behind him and looks hungry (vs. Shao Kahn). The mummy grasps Shao Kahn's face and absorbs all the souls he accumulated through its open mouth. The withered corpse of the brief Kahn of Edenian-Outworld drops to the ground before a shocked rebel army. The souls of 2 kings returns intelligence to the mummified being. It floats above the army, surveying them for a suitable challenge or a suitable meal. Any who fight are instantly eradicated. The once mighty army cowers and kneels before the awakened deity. One among them does not kneel; Reptile steps forward. Reptile was freed from his enslavement and imprisonment, but he knows will never truly be free until he gets his original power back. The mummy recognizes the former Dragon King and says to regain his power he must win it (vs. Reptile). Onaga is no match in his current body and is vaporized to atoms. The mummy instinctively knows no challenges remain in this war ravaged realm, so it portals to Earthrealm following Liu Kang's trail and leaving the remaining Edenians and Outworlders hopeless. At the Fire Temple, it is confronted by Nightwolf. The Great Spirit is a child of the One Being and it lead them here. Despite the mummy's blank facade, Nightwolf senses the conflict within it. Nightwolf questions the One Being. Why does the creator of reality want to destroy it? The One Being calmly replies destroying reality is first step to destroying itself. The Elder Gods sealed the One Being away to prevent it from permanently ending the cycle of creation and destruction. Nightwolf questions then about the lives caught in this endless cycle. Is the existence of life just an error in the macroscale of the cosmos? The One Being calls itself the error - an error that will soon be corrected (vs. Nightwolf). The mummy reclaims its wayward child through Nightwolf's soul. It takes the name "Errmac" out of respect for the fallen warrior. At last, he meets his re-animator. Ermac compares Liu Kang to Shinnok. They both seek control of reality and over life and death. Ermac claims it is impossible to impose order on the chaos of existence (vs. Liu Kang). Their fight is far from over. Empowered by Shinnok's amulet and Kronika's crown, Liu Kang goes blow for blow with Ermac. However, massive destruction is wreaked on Earthrealm as a result. All realms begin to quake from the force of their epic battle. Kung Lao plays horrified witness to the events unfolding and the final downfall of his friend and mentor. 11. Havik Kung Lao retreats to the Jinsei chamber. His turmoil is enough to drive him insane. Rather it is his timeline or all of reality, soon it will cease to exist. He's trained and fought for over 400 years, watched friends and loved ones die while he remained youthful, and trusted Liu Kang with his life. All for nothing. Not for nothing, says Shang Tsung stepping out of the shadows. He shows Kung Lao the hidden hourglass. Liu Kang's betrayal was for this old relic. Shang Tsung promises Liu Kang can be freed from his madness. All Kung Lao must do is destroy the hourglass. Kung Lao puts his legendary power into a single punch and strikes. The shattered glass explodes around him and leaves him viscerally cut and scarred. His face is in tatters, his organs are exposed, and his limbs hang by threads. Yet the lingering magic of the sands of time preserve his ragged flesh and life in stasis. Shang Tsung appears again to him and claims, with the hourglass destroyed, he can now take what is rightfully his (vs. Shang Tsung). Kung Lao defends himself and mortally wounds Shang Tsung thanks to his new power source. Shang Tsung tricked Kung Lao into ending his soul's torture in the sands but says he was telling the truth about one thing. In a past life, he was like Liu Kang plotting ways to attain ultimate power. With Kung Lao's new abilities, every realm can be freed from the plans of gods and mortals. Shang Tsung dies and Kung Lao hears his words. He travels to the Shirai Ryu Fire Garden where Hanzo stands resolute in his duty despite the crumbling world. Kung Lao demands Shinnok's head (vs. Scorpion). Kung Lao defeats the ninja and holds Shinnok's head aloft over his own. He crushes it and drinks the pouring viscera, supercharging him with the same godly evil essence that powers Scorpion. In the sky amid explosions of magic, fire, and lightning, Shinnok's amulet loses its power and Liu Kang begins to lose his battle against Ermac. Kung Lao next confronts Fujin at his Air Temple. Fujin despairs for the fallen monk and the devastated world. Kung Lao coldly says there is no need for sadness; the winds of change have arrived (vs. Fujin). Kung Lao, disgusted by Fujin's passivity, eviscerates him and bathes in his blood. The death of a god heralds the birth of one. Ermac breaks away from its battle with Liu Kang to challenge the new arrival (vs. Ermac). Kung Lao fends off Ermac using Shinnok's power and pledges to break the endless cycle they both despise. Ermac allows itself to be killed but not before christening Kung Lao as Havik, the cleric of the oncoming chaos. Liu Kang is helpless to watch as Havik steals the power of the One Being. 12. God Liu Kang Havik causes the barriers between realms to bleed together. Liu Kang realizes what his friend has become and finally recognizes his grave mistakes. He promises Kung Lao it is not too late to fix the world and restore their fates. Havik spits in his face. Words are worthless to him. Titans, gods, mortals - there is no difference between them. Chaos is the great unifier. Havik reaches across the realms and brings forth proof of his conviction. From the Netherrealm, he extracts Kuai Liang's spirit from Smoke and embodies it into Sub-Zero. Havik tells of the 2 brothers whose destiny is live and die for a dark master no matter the timeline (vs. Kuai Liang Sub-Zero). From Edenia, Havik pulls Kitana and Mileena still grieving their fathers' deaths. Havik tells of the 2 sisters of fate who are always denied peace and given only tragedy. Havik enflames Mileena's tarkatan blood causing her to gain her classic monster face (vs. Savage Mileena). Liu Kang fends off one sister and shares an ashamed look with Kitana as Havik reduces them to dust with a wave of his hand. Havik says fate cannot be changed, and even the most powerful can do nothing about it. He summons Reptile from thin air and painfully reconstructs the flesh and bones of the Dragon King's body. Liu Kang faces a wrathful Onaga (vs. Onaga). Liu Kang defeats all foes as the realms are reduced to the primordial chaos from whence they came. Liu Kang and Havik's final battle is yin vs. yang, chaos vs. order, and it resets existence back to zero (vs. Havik). With great effort, Liu Kang pierces through Havik's chest with a fiery fist. The transformed Kung Lao dies at his mentor's side, telling Liu Kang to look at what they created together. Their battle imbued the newborn reality with an unknown wondrous energy. In all his attemps to recreate existence, Liu Kang's never seen this before. Liu Kang's time-shaping abilities are restored with Havik's death. As the first sparks of light explode in the new universe, Liu Kang raises his hand to catch them. But this time, solemnly, he removes Kronika's crown and lowers his hand. The big bang washes over Liu Kang and erases him. The new universe born of chaos and order is teeming with potential, but perhaps inevitably its fate will once again be decided by MORTAL KOMBAT. |
2023.03.22 21:59 LaLucertola WI - Confused about QMSCO
Background: I am recognized as the custodial parent under a mediation agreement with my child's father (settled last year). I have my child the majority of days out of the week, and she is on my employee dental/vision/health insurance. I pay for the majority of her expenses.
A few months ago, I received a medical support order from the county where we did the mediation. However, my child had been covered under my insurance continually for over two years at that point, so I didn't think anything of it. Last week I received enrollment materials from ADP in order to satisfy the QMSCO, and after reaching out to the advisor they stated they could not find my information in the system and to contact my internal admin to provide the correct information.
While looking online, I'm having a difficult time figuring out what this actually means and what I'm supposed to do. There is no need for additional coverage since she is already enrolled and paid for under my employee+family premium. Am I going to be on the hook for double insurance?

2023.03.22 19:52 Sea_Angle3756 How to find out if she still has rights?
I live in Texas in Harris county, I am trying to find out if my SOs ex from who he has a son from still has rights to him as a parent? She has prostitution and aggravated assault on family member with a deadly weapon on her record. Every case that she has tried to bring against him for either custody and or paternity has been thrown out by the family court judge.
The last time, she tried to file that we were holding him against his will and he needs to be given back. The judge told her she had wrong papers filed and she blew up at the judge cursing and yelling, to where bailiff came and found my son and I and directed us one floor down and up into room where SO was (zoom was used). The bailiff even had us leave via the judges elevator cause he did not trust that she would not be waiting on us, they said go directly to car and leave. We practically ran to our vehicle and dipped.
She was in sons life up until he was one then above assault happened, I came in picture few months later been here since. I just want to know if she has right or not, I want to adopt my son and be done with her and this, we believe we can get via abandonment.

2023.03.22 19:44 Toftsef1135 A Late-Night Conversation With A Strange-Looking Hitchhiker
I was a trucker. This happened to me four weeks ago.
It was about 11:34 pm, and it was raining heavily outside. Real torrential stuff and the trees were all freaking wagging like dog tails. My windshield looked like a waterfall, and my headlights could just barely illuminate the road ahead of me. I've driven through storms before, but I'd never seen anything like this. It was a real pain in the ass. But, it was also kind of cozy at the same time, me being in my nice warm truck and listening to the rain pattering on the roof. It was so soothing that my lids started to feel a little heavy, and the coffee wasn't helping all that much.
Up ahead, I could see someone walking along the side of the road. As my headlights neared the figure, I saw that it was a man. All he was wearing was a dark green overcoat, dark trousers, and muddy boots. I was frigging flabbergasted. Why would anybody be out in this kind of weather? Plus he wasn't wearing the appropriate attire.
I started feeling kind of bad for the guy. Now, us truckers aren't allowed to take in hitchhikers. We need permission to allow someone else into the truck. Not to mention it isn't always safe to allow some random person into the vehicle. But I'm a pretty empathetic guy, I was just raised that way. I just didn't feel right to leave that man out there in that crappy weather. Plus, I'm a decently big guy, so I thought I could handle myself if this guy tried anything.
I honked my horn and slowed my truck to a stop. The man stopped walking and looked over at my truck. I rolled down the windshield and called to him.
"Hey! Do you need a ride? It's pissing down out here!"
The man cocked his head to the side and continued to stare at me.
"Its alright. I'm just a truck driver! I don't bite!"
The man stood there, silently regarding me. Then he started walking towards my truck slowly. I rolled my window back up, and then I opened the passenger door for him. When he appeared at the door and I got a close-up look at him, my eyes widened.
This guy was huge, bigger than I was. Real tall, and sort of "wiry-strong" built. His face was really weird looking. It was long and very sharply featured, and his jawline was very narrow. His nose was broad and flat, his lips were thin and colourless, and his hair was long and slicked back, reaching down to the base of his neck. His skin was as pale as the damn moon.
The strangest thing about him though was his eyes. They were big and very vibrant green in colour. I'd never seen anything like them before. They kind of reminded me of a cat's eyes. They were just... uncanny.
The man entered my truck, sat down in the passenger seat, and shut the door. Then he put his seatbelt on. He didn't have any luggage with him or anything. All he had was the clothes on his back. However, I did notice something in one of the pockets on his overcoat, and I thought it might have been his wallet.
"So, where do you need to go?" I asked the man, trying to sound as friendly as possible.
The man just glanced at me and said:
"Are there any towns near here?"
"Do you need to go to any specific ones?" I asked.
"No." Answered the man.
"Well, would it be okay if I drop you off in the town I'm heading to?"
"Yeah, that sounds fine."
We drove in silence for a few minutes. The only noise was the rain pattering on the roof, and the mechanical whirring of the windshield wipers vainly trying to keep the windshield from being engulfed. The man was mostly just staring out the passenger window, or occasionally glancing at the windshield. Eventually, the silence got a bit awkward for me, so I tried starting up a conversation.
"So uh... what's you're name? Mine's Keith."
The man glanced at me, his green eyes emotionless and uninterested.
"Lyall." He briefly replied.
"So, Lyall, where're you from? Have you always lived in New Hampshire?"
"I'd rather not say where I'm from."
"Oh, that's fine. Sorry for asking." I replied with a small smile.
"Have you always lived here?" He asked.
"Yeah. I was born in Bartlett and lived there until I was ten. And then my family moved to Clarksville." I replied.
Lyall then turned to fully face me, and I had to stop myself from looking away from his eyes. They were just so damn... intense. Like full-on soul-gazing.
"What are the smallest towns in this county?" He asked.
"Um... I can't really think of any off the top of my head. But, I'd say most of the towns around here aren't super big. This county's the least populated one in the whole state." I replied.
"I see." Replied Lyall.
Things went quiet again for a little while. But then Lyall leaned back in the passenger seat and let out a wide yawn, and I got a full view of his chompers. My god, they made my frigging jaw drop. His canines were enormous, much bigger than any I'd seen on any other person before. Big and curved, kind of like smaller versions of a Chimpanzee's. Lyall caught me staring.
"Its not polite to stare, y'know." He said.
I shook myself out of my stupor and tried to think up an excuse. And, well, it ended up being a crappy one.
"Sorry, Lyall. Its just... uh... My brother-in-law is a dentist and he likes talking to me about... dentistry stuff and... I've developed a bit of a... fascination with teeth." I said with a red face.
Lyall just stared at me. God, his eyes were like daggers. Then, he smiled slightly, and I felt anxiety begin to swell up in my mind.
"Oh, he's a dentist is he? What's his area of expertise?" He asked.
"Um... he's a..."
Lyall cut me off before I could think up an excuse.
"You must know. I mean he does talk to you in detail about it. So, what is it? Orthodontic? Periodontal? Pediatric? Prosthodontic? Endodontic? Cosmetic? Or is he just a general dentist?"
I weighed my options. I didn't know any of them. So in the end, I just settled on a general dentist.
"Oh, he's a general dentist. He doesn't really discuss his procedures with me or anything." I replied with an awkward smile.
Lyall eyes narrowed, and I felt like crapping myself. He looked frigging scary with his eyes like that. Hell, he looked scary anyway, but his glare just made him even scarier.
"He's not a dentist, isn't he?"
I looked down in defeat
"No. No he isn't."
Lyall just sat there, pretty much scolding me with his eyes. And then he turned away from me, faced the windshield, and sighed.
"Just so you know, these fangs aren't actually mine. They're implants. You know, cosmetic surgery? I'm... into body modification."
"Are you? Oh that's cool. Sorry for staring and all that bullcrap about dentistry. I just... didn't want to seem rude or anything." I replied.
"Well, just don't lie. Truthfulness is a better virtue." Said Lyall.
Silence returned, much to my relief. Lyall was pretty damn difficult to talk with. I just couldn't look into his eyes for very long, and those teeth weren't exactly pleasant to look at either. Plus, I kind of found him to be a bit stuck up too. His listing off all those dentist professions just to stump me was kind of unwarranted. I would've given a piece of my mind about that if he weren't so damn scary-looking.
Not feeling like talking to Lyall anymore, I decided to turn the radio on. I went onto one of the news stations and stumbled upon a pretty disturbing story. A vagrant had been found dead about five miles away from our location. He'd been mauled something fierce, limbs had been torn off as well as his bottom jaw.
"Jesus christ." I breathed as I listened to the gruesome incident.
Lyall just sat there staring at the radio, and then he reached into one of his coat pockets and pulled out a plastic bag that looked like it was filled with beef jerky. He opened up the bag, pulled out five strips of jerky, and shoved them all into his mouth.
Despite his loud and rather gross chewing, I eyed the jerky. It looked pretty damn good. Lyall noticed my hungry eyes, and he pulled out three strips and offered them to me with a small smile.
"Want to try some?"
"Yes please." I said with a grin.
I put one of the strips into my mouth, and Lyall watched me eat it with a somewhat amused look on his face. Much to my surprise, it wasn't beef jerky at all. It was pork jerky.
"This stuff is really good, did you make it yourself?" I asked.
"No. I... bought it at a... roadside barbecue."
I swiftly scarfed down the other two strips. God, that was probably the nicest jerky I'd ever tasted. It was like heaven in a piece of desiccated meat.
"Kinda messed up what happened to that hobo. A big bear must've gotten him. Oh, I saw a frigging massive Black Bear near Shelburne once. God, it had to be about seven feet and probably four-hundred pounds at least. Looked like a damn grizzly. My dad would've given his left hand to shoot that thing." I said.
"Not much honour in shooting a beast. Up close with a knife, spear or your bare hands is better. It's more even that way. Gives the beast a fighting chance." Said Lyall.
"Easy for you to say. You're built like a goddamn bear." I remarked with a smile.
"Eh, you have a point." Replied Lyall.
"Now, I can find it feasible to fight a wolf or maybe a puma with a knife, but no way in hell with a bear. Especially a grizzly. Kodiaks and Polars are just out of the question. Fighting any animal bigger than a dog with your bare hands is completely out of the question, Lyall."
Lyall turned to face me and grinned. There were tiny bits of jerky still stuck between his big as-hell teeth.
"You want to know what it's like to get bitten, by a bear?"
I cocked an eyebrow up at his question.
"Have you ever been bitten? Crap, have you actually fought bears?" I asked.
Lyall ignored my question and then leaned towards me, and I couldn't help but shy away from his nasty-looking chompers and those goddamn eyes. His breath stunk too.
His voice a hissing whisper, he told me what it felt like.
"It feels like having three bear traps clamping onto your arm, the spikes sinking into your flesh like butter. And then the pressure increases and increases until the bone cracks in half like a stick. Bears also like to go for the jawbone too, because that's how they often fight with each other. Bears tend to attack humans like they're other bears."
My skin turned pale white as Lyall's words slithered into my ears. Lyall backed off, quietly chuckling. I started laughing nervously a little myself.
He suddenly leaned toward the windshield and squinted his eyes. Then he sat back against the chair.
"There's a gas station up ahead."
"Oh good. I need to top up my coffee and maybe get some food. And I need to take a piss too. You need anything?"
Lyall shook his head.
"No. I'll wait in the truck."
I slowed my truck to a stop just outside the gas station. When the dome light came on, I noticed Lyall's eyes suddenly flash yellow for a split second. You know like when you shine a torch at a dog or a cat and their eyes start glowing? It was kind of like that. I was weirded out for a second. But I quickly ended up just disregarding it as me just seeing things out of tiredness.
I stepped out into the pouring rain and howling wind, fastened my jacket, and then ran for the gas station entrance. The guy behind the counter looked half asleep, and the light on the ceiling was dim and emitted a faint buzzing sound. In short, the place looked like a craphole in serious need of renovations.
The first thing I needed to do was use the restroom. Judging by the state of the main area of the building, I mentally prepared myself for what I would witness in there. I opened the door and much to my surprise, found the restroom to be surprisingly clean. There wasn't much of an odour either. I walked in, shut the door behind me, and entered one of the stalls. I've just never liked using urinals, too pee shy. I emptied my bladder into the bowl, flushed, and then washed my hands. The hand wash they had smelt like heaven.
When I exited the restroom, the clerk was no longer behind the counter. I just shrugged it off and thought that he was maybe sleeping in the backroom or something. The poor bastard looked like he needed it. I grabbed a bag of chips and got myself a fresh coffee from the coffee machine, and then I left the money for it on the counter.
When I got back to my truck, Lyall was gone. He'd left a note on my dashboard. He thanked me for giving him a ride, and he'd also left me fifteen dollars, and that bag of delicious pork jerky too. Bitchin. I drove away from the gas station, now continuing my journey alone. Although we'd only known each other for about two hours, and he'd scared the crap outta me a couple of times, I'd be lying if I said I didn't kind of miss Lyall. At least I'd had someone to talk to. Trucking can be pretty damn lonely sometimes.
I arrived at my destination around at 5:47 in the morning. I dropped off my cargo, and then I booked a room in this cozy little motel. I had a nice sleep for about three hours before being woken up by a loud knocking at my motel room door. I groggily got up, put my trousers and jacket back on, and answered the door. My eyes widened like saucers when I saw two cops standing at the doorway.
"Mister Devereux?" Asked one of the officers.
"I am." I replied.
"We need to take you down to the station for questioning." Said the same officer.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"We'll explain when we get there."
When we got to the station, I was frigging shocked by what the police told me. The clerk at the gas station we stopped at had gone missing. And what made it all the more shocking was the CCTV footage that they showed me. The security camera at the back of the gas station had captured a dark figure ripping open the backdoor and entering the building. As soon as I saw the footage, I knew that it was Lyall.
The next footage they showed me chilled me to the bone. This one was captured by the camera in the main room. It showed me entering through the sliding doors, checking the place out, and then heading to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, the footage showed Lyall opening the door to the storage room behind the counter, grabbing the clerk, and pulling him into the storage room before slamming the door shut. God, he'd frigging rag-dolled the guy.
The footage after had been captured by the camera in the storage room. It showed Lyall biting into the clerk's neck and tearing out his throat. Then he slung the man over his shoulder and walked out the backdoor and then vanished into the woods behind the gas station.
I watched this all in silent terror. After showing me the footage, the police started questioning me. I told them everything. How I'd picked up Lyall from the side of the road, drove to the gas station, and how he was gone when I returned to my truck. I told them that I thought he'd just gone off on his own and I'd had no idea that he'd attacked the clerk. Luckily, they believed me. But they did ask to check my truck out for any clues, such as Lyall's fingerprints and stuff.
I had to phone the company I worked for and explain to them what had happened. And well, my ass ended up getting canned. I was stuck in that town for a week, and my god it was the worst week of my life. Stuck in that motel room, staring up at the ceiling from my bed, ruminating on the fact that I'd sat inches away from some animalistic maniac for over two hours, and been chummy with him. How I'd been in a restroom nonchalantly doing my business while an innocent man was being ripped apart in the other room. The nightmares I had were fucking horrific. Even now, after all this time, I'm still hit with them late at night.
It felt like heaven when I finally got my truck back and could leave that town. But of course, now I was no longer a trucker. After I gave the truck back to the company, I headed back to my hometown and now I'm working in my parents' diner again. Can't say I won't miss trucking. Thanks a lot Lyall.
Something strange happened to me a couple of weeks after the incident. Two FBI agents (I think) showed up at my house and started asking me questions about Lyall. They told me they needed a bit more information to help with the case, as they'd still not managed to find either him or the body of the gas station clerk. They wanted to know everything about him, even the most minute of details. What he looked like, how he moved, how he talked, and even how he smelt. They wrote down every single thing I told them, no matter how brief. They thanked me for my time and then they left.
A short while after that, another weird thing happened. When I was manning the counter at my folks' diner, this woman came in. She was wearing sunglasses and a scarf. She looked almost exactly like Lyall. Tall and lean, and a long face with a narrow jaw. She had different coloured hair though, auburn compared to Lyall's deep black.
She sat at one of the booths, and she noticed me staring at her. She then grinned at me, and much like Lyall, her canines were huge. I promptly told my parents that I didn't feel well, and finished work early that day. When I got home, I locked all of my doors and windows and stayed in my bedroom for the rest of the day. I frigging cleared out my closet and turn on every single light in my bedroom. And I didn't dare look out of my window blinds. Unsurprisingly, for me anyway, a trapper went missing that night.
I don't go out much anymore. And I sure as hell don't pick up random people off the side of the road anymore either.

It was about 11:34 pm, and it was raining heavily outside. Real torrential stuff and the trees were all freaking wagging like dog tails. My windshield looked like a waterfall, and my headlights could just barely illuminate the road ahead of me. I've driven through storms before, but I'd never seen anything like this. It was a real pain in the ass. But, it was also kind of cozy at the same time, me being in my nice warm truck and listening to the rain pattering on the roof. It was so soothing that my lids started to feel a little heavy, and the coffee wasn't helping all that much.
Up ahead, I could see someone walking along the side of the road. As my headlights neared the figure, I saw that it was a man. All he was wearing was a dark green overcoat, dark trousers, and muddy boots. I was frigging flabbergasted. Why would anybody be out in this kind of weather? Plus he wasn't wearing the appropriate attire.
I started feeling kind of bad for the guy. Now, us truckers aren't allowed to take in hitchhikers. We need permission to allow someone else into the truck. Not to mention it isn't always safe to allow some random person into the vehicle. But I'm a pretty empathetic guy, I was just raised that way. I just didn't feel right to leave that man out there in that crappy weather. Plus, I'm a decently big guy, so I thought I could handle myself if this guy tried anything.
I honked my horn and slowed my truck to a stop. The man stopped walking and looked over at my truck. I rolled down the windshield and called to him.
"Hey! Do you need a ride? It's pissing down out here!"
The man cocked his head to the side and continued to stare at me.
"Its alright. I'm just a truck driver! I don't bite!"
The man stood there, silently regarding me. Then he started walking towards my truck slowly. I rolled my window back up, and then I opened the passenger door for him. When he appeared at the door and I got a close-up look at him, my eyes widened.
This guy was huge, bigger than I was. Real tall, and sort of "wiry-strong" built. His face was really weird looking. It was long and very sharply featured, and his jawline was very narrow. His nose was broad and flat, his lips were thin and colourless, and his hair was long and slicked back, reaching down to the base of his neck. His skin was as pale as the damn moon.
The strangest thing about him though was his eyes. They were big and very vibrant green in colour. I'd never seen anything like them before. They kind of reminded me of a cat's eyes. They were just... uncanny.
The man entered my truck, sat down in the passenger seat, and shut the door. Then he put his seatbelt on. He didn't have any luggage with him or anything. All he had was the clothes on his back. However, I did notice something in one of the pockets on his overcoat, and I thought it might have been his wallet.
"So, where do you need to go?" I asked the man, trying to sound as friendly as possible.
The man just glanced at me and said:
"Are there any towns near here?"
"Do you need to go to any specific ones?" I asked.
"No." Answered the man.
"Well, would it be okay if I drop you off in the town I'm heading to?"
"Yeah, that sounds fine."
We drove in silence for a few minutes. The only noise was the rain pattering on the roof, and the mechanical whirring of the windshield wipers vainly trying to keep the windshield from being engulfed. The man was mostly just staring out the passenger window, or occasionally glancing at the windshield. Eventually, the silence got a bit awkward for me, so I tried starting up a conversation.
"So uh... what's you're name? Mine's Keith."
The man glanced at me, his green eyes emotionless and uninterested.
"Lyall." He briefly replied.
"So, Lyall, where're you from? Have you always lived in New Hampshire?"
"I'd rather not say where I'm from."
"Oh, that's fine. Sorry for asking." I replied with a small smile.
"Have you always lived here?" He asked.
"Yeah. I was born in Bartlett and lived there until I was ten. And then my family moved to Clarksville." I replied.
Lyall then turned to fully face me, and I had to stop myself from looking away from his eyes. They were just so damn... intense. Like full-on soul-gazing.
"What are the smallest towns in this county?" He asked.
"Um... I can't really think of any off the top of my head. But, I'd say most of the towns around here aren't super big. This county's the least populated one in the whole state." I replied.
"I see." Replied Lyall.
Things went quiet again for a little while. But then Lyall leaned back in the passenger seat and let out a wide yawn, and I got a full view of his chompers. My god, they made my frigging jaw drop. His canines were enormous, much bigger than any I'd seen on any other person before. Big and curved, kind of like smaller versions of a Chimpanzee's. Lyall caught me staring.
"Its not polite to stare, y'know." He said.
I shook myself out of my stupor and tried to think up an excuse. And, well, it ended up being a crappy one.
"Sorry, Lyall. Its just... uh... My brother-in-law is a dentist and he likes talking to me about... dentistry stuff and... I've developed a bit of a... fascination with teeth." I said with a red face.
Lyall just stared at me. God, his eyes were like daggers. Then, he smiled slightly, and I felt anxiety begin to swell up in my mind.
"Oh, he's a dentist is he? What's his area of expertise?" He asked.
"Um... he's a..."
Lyall cut me off before I could think up an excuse.
"You must know. I mean he does talk to you in detail about it. So, what is it? Orthodontic? Periodontal? Pediatric? Prosthodontic? Endodontic? Cosmetic? Or is he just a general dentist?"
I weighed my options. I didn't know any of them. So in the end, I just settled on a general dentist.
"Oh, he's a general dentist. He doesn't really discuss his procedures with me or anything." I replied with an awkward smile.
Lyall eyes narrowed, and I felt like crapping myself. He looked frigging scary with his eyes like that. Hell, he looked scary anyway, but his glare just made him even scarier.
"He's not a dentist, isn't he?"
I looked down in defeat
"No. No he isn't."
Lyall just sat there, pretty much scolding me with his eyes. And then he turned away from me, faced the windshield, and sighed.
"Just so you know, these fangs aren't actually mine. They're implants. You know, cosmetic surgery? I'm... into body modification."
"Are you? Oh that's cool. Sorry for staring and all that bullcrap about dentistry. I just... didn't want to seem rude or anything." I replied.
"Well, just don't lie. Truthfulness is a better virtue." Said Lyall.
Silence returned, much to my relief. Lyall was pretty damn difficult to talk with. I just couldn't look into his eyes for very long, and those teeth weren't exactly pleasant to look at either. Plus, I kind of found him to be a bit stuck up too. His listing off all those dentist professions just to stump me was kind of unwarranted. I would've given a piece of my mind about that if he weren't so damn scary-looking.
Not feeling like talking to Lyall anymore, I decided to turn the radio on. I went onto one of the news stations and stumbled upon a pretty disturbing story. A vagrant had been found dead about five miles away from our location. He'd been mauled something fierce, limbs had been torn off as well as his bottom jaw.
"Jesus christ." I breathed as I listened to the gruesome incident.
Lyall just sat there staring at the radio, and then he reached into one of his coat pockets and pulled out a plastic bag that looked like it was filled with beef jerky. He opened up the bag, pulled out five strips of jerky, and shoved them all into his mouth.
Despite his loud and rather gross chewing, I eyed the jerky. It looked pretty damn good. Lyall noticed my hungry eyes, and he pulled out three strips and offered them to me with a small smile.
"Want to try some?"
"Yes please." I said with a grin.
I put one of the strips into my mouth, and Lyall watched me eat it with a somewhat amused look on his face. Much to my surprise, it wasn't beef jerky at all. It was pork jerky.
"This stuff is really good, did you make it yourself?" I asked.
"No. I... bought it at a... roadside barbecue."
I swiftly scarfed down the other two strips. God, that was probably the nicest jerky I'd ever tasted. It was like heaven in a piece of desiccated meat.
"Kinda messed up what happened to that hobo. A big bear must've gotten him. Oh, I saw a frigging massive Black Bear near Shelburne once. God, it had to be about seven feet and probably four-hundred pounds at least. Looked like a damn grizzly. My dad would've given his left hand to shoot that thing." I said.
"Not much honour in shooting a beast. Up close with a knife, spear or your bare hands is better. It's more even that way. Gives the beast a fighting chance." Said Lyall.
"Easy for you to say. You're built like a goddamn bear." I remarked with a smile.
"Eh, you have a point." Replied Lyall.
"Now, I can find it feasible to fight a wolf or maybe a puma with a knife, but no way in hell with a bear. Especially a grizzly. Kodiaks and Polars are just out of the question. Fighting any animal bigger than a dog with your bare hands is completely out of the question, Lyall."
Lyall turned to face me and grinned. There were tiny bits of jerky still stuck between his big as-hell teeth.
"You want to know what it's like to get bitten, by a bear?"
I cocked an eyebrow up at his question.
"Have you ever been bitten? Crap, have you actually fought bears?" I asked.
Lyall ignored my question and then leaned towards me, and I couldn't help but shy away from his nasty-looking chompers and those goddamn eyes. His breath stunk too.
His voice a hissing whisper, he told me what it felt like.
"It feels like having three bear traps clamping onto your arm, the spikes sinking into your flesh like butter. And then the pressure increases and increases until the bone cracks in half like a stick. Bears also like to go for the jawbone too, because that's how they often fight with each other. Bears tend to attack humans like they're other bears."
My skin turned pale white as Lyall's words slithered into my ears. Lyall backed off, quietly chuckling. I started laughing nervously a little myself.
He suddenly leaned toward the windshield and squinted his eyes. Then he sat back against the chair.
"There's a gas station up ahead."
"Oh good. I need to top up my coffee and maybe get some food. And I need to take a piss too. You need anything?"
Lyall shook his head.
"No. I'll wait in the truck."
I slowed my truck to a stop just outside the gas station. When the dome light came on, I noticed Lyall's eyes suddenly flash yellow for a split second. You know like when you shine a torch at a dog or a cat and their eyes start glowing? It was kind of like that. I was weirded out for a second. But I quickly ended up just disregarding it as me just seeing things out of tiredness.
I stepped out into the pouring rain and howling wind, fastened my jacket, and then ran for the gas station entrance. The guy behind the counter looked half asleep, and the light on the ceiling was dim and emitted a faint buzzing sound. In short, the place looked like a craphole in serious need of renovations.
The first thing I needed to do was use the restroom. Judging by the state of the main area of the building, I mentally prepared myself for what I would witness in there. I opened the door and much to my surprise, found the restroom to be surprisingly clean. There wasn't much of an odour either. I walked in, shut the door behind me, and entered one of the stalls. I've just never liked using urinals, too pee shy. I emptied my bladder into the bowl, flushed, and then washed my hands. The hand wash they had smelt like heaven.
When I exited the restroom, the clerk was no longer behind the counter. I just shrugged it off and thought that he was maybe sleeping in the backroom or something. The poor bastard looked like he needed it. I grabbed a bag of chips and got myself a fresh coffee from the coffee machine, and then I left the money for it on the counter.
When I got back to my truck, Lyall was gone. He'd left a note on my dashboard. He thanked me for giving him a ride, and he'd also left me fifteen dollars, and that bag of delicious pork jerky too. Bitchin. I drove away from the gas station, now continuing my journey alone. Although we'd only known each other for about two hours, and he'd scared the crap outta me a couple of times, I'd be lying if I said I didn't kind of miss Lyall. At least I'd had someone to talk to. Trucking can be pretty damn lonely sometimes.
I arrived at my destination around at 5:47 in the morning. I dropped off my cargo, and then I booked a room in this cozy little motel. I had a nice sleep for about three hours before being woken up by a loud knocking at my motel room door. I groggily got up, put my trousers and jacket back on, and answered the door.
